Tombochai, this is a ritual bath from the Incas. Apparently there were multiple houses around the area (that didn't last), and this was like a hotel/resting spot for nobles and dignitaries of the Inca empire, who were making their way to Cusco. They would stop here, bathe, eat, and rest before finishing their last 8km journey by foot to their destination.
Saksaywaman, a citadel north of Cusco. This was where the Inti Raymi was hosted yesterday, and I got to walk around the paths were the performers entered from! This was basically a fortress and hosted many battles to protect the capital of the Inca empire, Cusco. The locals say that this place has a bad energy because thousands have died there, and apparently its haunted. You can bet that I made sure to get to the car before complete sunset after hearing the tour guide say that haha. I'm not about to mess with some warrior Inca ghosts.
The famous 12 point rock in Cusco
Apparently if I can climb it I will...sorry Water god, your temple had too many spaces to explore
